Method
- Drain the soaked rice thoroughly and chop the jackfruit into short pieces so it does not tear the wrappers.
- Warm coconut milk, sugar, salt, and coconut oil until the sugar dissolves.
- Add rice and cook over medium-low heat until the grains absorb most of the liquid and become half-cooked.
- Fold in jackfruit off the heat so its aroma stays fresh and the fruit does not dissolve.
- Spoon onto banana leaves, roll into snug logs, and tuck the ends inward.
- Steam for 35–45 minutes until the rice is tender and the packets are fragrant.
- Cool briefly and serve without extra sauce so the jackfruit remains the main flavour.
